For R/C track power, DCC is a very widely used system. In the smaller scales, it has become predominate. It's not as widely used in Large Scale, but there is a growing number of people switching to it. I personally use the Digitrax system. I had the system on my On30 layout indoors and was familiar with it. All it required was to install decoders in the locos, unhook the wires from the controller to the On30 layout, and hook them up to the large scale track. The Digitrax controller has a switch to change the outut voltage from N, or Ho, or O/G scales. I've been really happy with the system. It allows me to control multiple trains at the same time, and the locos seem to be less sensitive to dirty track than with DC. I have normal ranges of over 100 feet with the controller in the house and the throttle out in the yard. The range may be farther. I just haven't tried it to see what the max. range is. The reason I went to the Digitrax system to begin with, is the ready availability of people that really know the system that can help with problems and questions. It seems to the most common DCC system in the smaller scales.
